Victor DriveX 10X Metallic Badminton Racket

The Victor DriveX 10X Metallic (DX-10METALLIC) is a premium, flagship professional-tier racket that marks a massive technological leap for Victor’s all-around control series. Serving as the direct successor to the highly acclaimed DriveX 9X, the 10X Metallic introduces a revolutionary material fusion designed to heighten raw force transmission.

Endorsed by elite international superstars like Wang Tzu Wei (Men's Singles) and H.S. Prannoy, it trades traditional dampening for a crisp, incredibly rigid, and highly aggressive all-around profile.

Performance Profile

The defining characteristic of the DX-10X Metallic is its incredible structural rigidity and direct tactile feedback.

1. The Metallic Carbon Shaft Integration (9.5 / 10): By fusing high-strength, Japanese-engineered woven carbon fiber directly with a thin metal composite sheet, Victor has created a 6.6mm shaft with unprecedented elasticity. It delivers energy into the shuttle instantly, giving flat drives, push returns, and deceptive flick shots immense speed and a totally unique, solid hitting sensation.
2. Anti-Torque Frame Stability (9.5 / 10): The metallic composite layer extends up into the frame structure to create an Anti-Torque Spiral Layout. Even during extreme, off-center hits or frantic late defensive scrambles, the racket head completely resists twisting. This keeps your shot trajectories locked onto their intended target lines.
3. Unrestricted Power Transmission (9.0 / 10): While it is technically an even-balanced racket, the combination of the stiff metallic shaft and a solid swing weight allows it to punch far above its weight class on heavy backcourt smashes. It hits with a noticeably sharper, more aggressive crack than its predecessor, the 9X.
4. Maneuverability & Handle Tech (8.5 / 10): Featuring the FREE CORE synthetic handle, the inner shaft is allowed to move more freely within the grip area. This balances out the extreme stiffness of the metal-carbon layup, making swings fluid and allowing the frame to bounce back instantly in rapid-fire counter-driving duels.

Best Suited For

1. Advanced to Professional Singles & Doubles Players: Specifically tuned for high-level competitors who possess the clean technique, forearm strength, and fast wrist mechanics needed to unleash a very stiff, highly responsive frame.
2. Tactical All-Rounders Who Want More Bite: Ideal for players who love the fluid pace management and precision control of the DriveX family but want a frame that delivers extra aggression and heavy punch on finishing smashes.
3. Enthusiasts Seeking Direct Tactile Feedback: If you dislike a "hollow" or excessively dampened hitting sensation, the raw, solid, and incredibly direct feedback of the metallic composite shaft makes it an exceptional weapon of choice.
